I don't want to be a female Casanova
Sitting underneath a bridge
with a heart so heavy it could sink
a ship
I don't want to be no quintessential
young adult with praise spewing
out her pocket
and her eyes glued to a watch
and i don't want to be that young lady
that sits and watches the world pass her by
while all the others are busy dreaming
shes knee deep in the sands of time
but i tell you what i want
so you better listen up
I want you to be the boy that holds
my hand walking down the street
a few months down the road
and i want you to be the guy
that lifts me off my feet
when my shoes get old
and i want you to be the man you've always been
even if distance sinks us in
and since that is all i want
i want it all
i don't want you to send me flowers
for a hundred miles away
and i don't want you to want me to go
when i really meant to stay
and i don't want to dwell on this another day
but i tell you what i want
so you better listen up
i want you to be that boy that needs me to
go to sleep
when you get midnight munchies
you wish you had a cooked meal by me to eat
and i want you to be the guy that smiles on the inside
of the man that you become
and when i go
i want to stay the only one
Author notes
i didnt want to write this poem, more or less i was afraid to admit this to myself. I'll be leaving for school soon and these are my hopes on taking a stab at the long distance relationship deal.

Long distance relationships are hard, I know they are (granted the last time I had one was in the 7th grade...but that's not the point). And we always want the ones we love to stay the same just enough for us to not feel alien in their presence.
But you will perservere, you always do, and you'll come out shining <3
